A review by Meche Kroop of Cantanti Project's production of Orlando (The National Opera Center, February 19, 2017):

Nothing gladdens our heart more than seeing a "Sold Out" sign at the opera. No, opera is not dying in NYC, but it is taking new forms. [...] Director Brittany Goodwin thought seriously about the silly plot and came up with an interpretation that worked just fine. Obviously a lot of teamwork went into this tight ensemble piece and it worked well. With astute understanding that this tale is one of delusion and obsession, she has placed the action in the psychiatric ward of a mental hospital [...] As Dorinda, we heard soprano Joyce Yin herself. (She, along with Laura Mitchell and Sam Fujii, founded Cantanti Project three years ago.) Her character gets a lot of gorgeous arias, our favorite of which was the arioso "Quando spieghi tuoi tormenti" in which she bids farewell to her sylvan home, including the nightingales, like which she sounded.

My two #valentines ❤️

For the Hello Gorgeous house concert #lastnight where I got to talk with an audience about the joys & rewards of being an artist, and then I got to sit back and hear others perform & talk about their art 💋

First two #yoga classes of 2018 ✅ It was a challenge because of my knee injury & just plain being out of practice, but I got through it and even surprised myself with how much I still had in me. With patience and peace I can get back to where I used to be & closer to being the person I strive to be 🙏 .

Dressed in blue but not feeling blue at all. Love how #velvet is in again. Found this top at a flea market in California 💙 #ootd #fashion #happymonday

First audition of #2018 ✅ I love changing into my comfy clothes after singing but still feeling glam with hair and make up looking good 👑 #newyorkcity #auditionseason #sopranoselfie #joycesings #opera

My mantra for #2018 🙏 Do you have one too? I'm putting my @singforhope @myinfiniteagenda (purchased on @shoperatic)to use! I doodled this during winter weather flight delays ❄️ It's an imperfect free-hand first attempt, but I'm telling myself it's ok to not be perfect. I just need to be bold, purposeful, and full of love 💕#tbt #joycesings #divaswhohustle #mylife #myinfiniteagenda

First day back in #NYC after a middle-seat red-eye: went straight to the office, worked a full day 🤪 and then had my first voice lesson of #2018 ☕️🎶 I was nervous about how badly/unproductive it might be due to being physically exhausted, but IT WENT GREAT and now I can't wait to practice tomorrow #nerd #soprano #joycesings #opera

For the past four years, I've been leaving my family a note on my old whiteboard after each visit. This might have been going on longer than that, but four years ago is when I stopped erasing my old message when writing my new one. Unintendedly, this whiteboard has come to mark the passage of time, the growing importance of family & healing from the loss of losing a parent. 2018 is off to quite a start - thanks to winter weather on the East Coast, I got to spend FIVE extra days with my family. Instead of focusing on the stress of delayed and cancelled flights, I'm thankful for this unexpected gift 💕✨ I'm preparing myself to dive right back into life in NYC - boldly, purposefully, and with so much love 💕✨ #2018 #resolutions #sopransoselfie #bold #messages #family #california

My #bestnine2017 ✨✨ a little late but still within the first week of the new year so not too terribly late! 2017 was a year of putting myself out there, going to the Met Opera, music & singing, meeting & working with exciting new people, expanding my horizons, and apparently some #divalicious dresses! I have ideas about what I'd like to continue and what I'd like to do differently in 2018 💕 Thank you to everyone in my social media & in-real-life community of friends, artists, colleagues, and inspirations for sharing your ideas, words of encouragement, small beautiful moments, and eye-opening discoveries. #thankful #2017 @dellarteopera @areopera @singforhope @shoperatic @divawhohustles @kaleighraephoto @amoreoperanyc

✨ New Year's Eve with my family. ❤️ We spent the evening cooking and eating and being there for each other. 🥂 #family #california #happynewyear #2017
